Divine Serendipity • Stiles Stilinski

33

"Stiles if you aim that crossbow at my chest one more time you're going to lose a limb." Bella spoke, a dead serious face as she watched her boyfriend scramble. Her expression faulted as she burst into laughter.

"I kinda like having limbs." He practically whispered, a smile creeping onto his face as he watched the pure happiness radiate from the girl opposite him.

"You think you got it down?" She asked, making the boy nod confidently. She'd taken him deep into the reserve for some of the much promised self defence. "Great, if we change the target to the tree behind we can test your aim-"

She was cut off by the sound of her phone, blaring obnoxiously from her back pocket. "Ally?"

"Ari! Hey. I'm sorry I just needed to talk to you." She rushed out, clearly stressed over something. But why couldn't she have visited? Is she avoiding her or something?

"Is everything okay?" Ari asked, making Stiles furrow his brows from besides her.

"Uh yeah, Yeah. Listen, where were you last night? Scott told me you had Matt's extra ticket."

"I did, I just got caught up in some family drama." She half lied. The Argent's truthfully were quite the dramatic bunch. "We must have just missed each other, how come?"

"I was distracting Matt for a while. I uh, I ended up driving him home. He left for a moment and I may have looked through his camera." Allison spoke, again there was clear anxiety in her tone. Ari was yet to catch onto what she meant.

"It was filled with you Ari. There were so many off-guard photos of you, some of me too. Even some zoomed in on your apartment window. He took photos of you and Stiles too, but he cropped his head off."

The Mikaelson's eyes widened. "So what, we have a creepy stalker now? One that apparently hates Stiles too huh. Dude I came to this town because it was supposed to be normal." She spoke, holding the phone against her ear with her shoulder as she reloaded a crossbow. "Did he say anything? Did you tell the Sheriff's department?"

"He definitely saw me. But I haven't told anyone yet, I thought you should be the first to know." The girls continued their conversation, blissfully unaware of the rustling sound approaching.

But Stiles noticed.

"Sounds like we have a stalker situation on our hands too." Just as the phone call came to an end, a hunter appeared behind the girl. "What is it?" She asked aloud, noticing how Stiles' gaze was fixated behind her.

Approaching the two, the man couldn't have been any older than twenty. His quivering fingertips immediately outed his inexperience, paired with the erratic heart beat pounding within his chest.

Before she was able to turn around, a stake was fired, plunging itself into her back. Without hesitation, Stiles shot with the crossbow in hand, hitting the man's leg as he growled in pain.

With a simple flick of the wrist, which, might it be mentioned carried a lot of anger behind it, the man fell to the ground with a snapped neck. The encounter was over in mere seconds, the Stilinski boy looked shocked with himself, looking between himself and the crossbow with wide eyes. "Did you see that?!"

Pulling the wood from her wound, a wide grin spread across her face. She threw the weapon to the ground, walking over to the boy. "I guess your aim isn't too bad after all." She smirked, lazily throwing her arms around his neck.
